CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of European Community Plant Variety Office Application No. 2017/1920, for a raspberry variety named ‘Plapink 0740,’ filed on Aug. 3, 2017, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND

Disclosed herein is a new and distinct raspberry variety. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Plapink 0740’. The new variety was designated by the breeder as ‘07.09R.40’. The new variety of raspberry was created in a breeding program by crossing two parents; in particular, by crossing as seed parent an undistributed raspberry parent designated ‘06.09R.84’ (unpatented) and as pollen parent an undistributed raspberry parent designated ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented). Female and male are selections from breeder's program of Planasa. Both parental varieties are property and have not been commercialized.

The resulting seedling of the new variety was grown and asexually propagated by root cuttings in Segovia, Spain, 3° 59′W., 41° 22′N., 2742 feet elevation. Clones of the new variety were further asexually propagated and extensively tested. This propagation and testing has demonstrated that the combination of traits disclosed herein which characterize the new variety are fixed and retained true to type through successive generations of asexual reproduction.

The growing period in Huelva, Spain, where the observations on primocane production were made, is between about July 5 and July 12 of the following year.

SUMMARY

The present invention relates to a new and distinct raspberry variety. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Plapink 0740’, that produces and maintains a strong vigorous plant with consistent fruit production from the middle of October through January on primocanes and in the ensuing year from the middle of April and ending in May.

Among the characteristics which appear to distinguish the new variety from other varieties are a combination of traits which include a sparse to medium spine density and very abundant production of orange to light red colored (RHS red group color near 42 B to 42 A), conical shaped, and medium to large fruit size.

COMPARISON TO THE PARENTS

Neither the seed parental cultivar, ‘06.09R.84,’ nor the pollen parent cultivar, ‘06.13R.46’, has any patent or application for Plant Patent Rights in any country on the world.

Both the seed and pollen parentals were obtained by Plantas de Navarra, S.A. Sociedad Unipersonal, they are selections from breeder's program of Plantas de Navarra, S.A. Sociedad Unipersonal. They are property of Plantas de Navarra, S.A. Sociedad Unipersonal. Plantas de Navarra, S.A. Sociedad Unipersonal maintains them in their nurseries, and both parental cultivars have never been commercialized.

The new variety is distinguished therefrom its parents by the following characteristics possessed by ‘Plapink 0740’ which are different than, or not possessed by, the seed parent designated ‘06.09R.84’ (unpatented) and the pollen parent designated ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented).

Predominant number of leaflets in leaf of seed parent ‘06.09R.84’ (unpatented) is five, whereas for ‘Plapink 0740’ is three.

Seed parent ‘06.09R.84’ (unpatented) and pollen parent ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented) show a smaller size fruit than the fruit of the new variety ‘Plapink 0740’ is medium to large.

Seed parent ‘06.09R.84’ (unpatented) and pollen parent ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented) show a broad conical fruit shape compared to the fruit shape of the new variety ‘Plapink 0740,’ which is conical.

In seed parent ‘06.09R.84’ (unpatented) the plug is small and rounded shaped, whereas the new variety ‘Plapink 0740’ presents a large plug and lengthened shape.

In pollen parent ‘06.13R.46’ (unpatented) the plug is medium and pyramid shaped, whereas the new variety ‘Plapink 0740’ presents a large plug and lengthened shape.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY

The following description is in accordance with UPOV terminology and the color terminology herein is in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.C.C.), 3rd edition published in 1995.

The color descriptions and other phenotypical descriptions may deviate from the stated values and descriptions depending upon variation in environmental, seasonal, climatic and cultural conditions.

Throughout this specification, color names beginning with a small letter signify that the name of that color, as used in common speech is aptly descriptive. Color names beginning with capital letter designate values based upon The R.H.S. Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural society, London, England, 1995.

The following detailed description of the new variety is based upon observations taken of plants and fruits grown “underglass”, i.e., under tunnel, in the farm of La Mogalla in Cartaya (Huelva), Spain, 7° W., 37° N., 45 feet elevation.

PROPAGATION

The new variety is principally propagated by way of root cuttings. Although propagation by root cuttings is presently preferred, other know methods of propagating raspberry plants may be used. Raspberries root and develop well after transplanting.

‘Plapink 0740’ is propagated by root cuttings. It is a primocane variety with fruit production from middle October through the end of January on primocanes and in the ensuing year from the middle of April and ending in May. ‘Plapink 0740’ is a self-fertile variety. It produces large quantities of pollen throughout the seasons and pollination is good.

Trials were pursued in in Cartaya (Huelva), Spain, about 7° W, 37° N, 45 feet elevation (15 meters high). The plants described are from high elevation nursery in Segovia, Spain, 3° 59′W., 41° 22′N., 2742 feet elevation. Plants were planted on June 25 in the first year and June 28 in the second year with a sample size of three repetitions every year and 120 plants per repetition every year. The growing period in Huelva, Spain, where the observations on primocane production were made, is between about July 5 and July 12 of the following year. ‘Plapink 0740’ is a primocane variety, with consistent fruit production beginning in middle October and ending in January on primocanes and in the ensuing year beginning in middle April and ending in May. After planting as aforesaid, plants are grown in raised beds under tunnel. Water and fertilizer were applied through drip irrigation.
